 Reception Autumn term

We will be learning Phase 2 sounds and tricky words, 

Information for parents and carers
‘Tricky words’ are words that cannot easily be decoded (‘sounded out’ and read). This is because some of the sounds in
the words are spelled in an unusual way. It is important for children to be able to read these words as they are among
the most common words in English.
The table below shows the tricky words that your child will learn in Phase 2 in the Autumn term of Reception and
explains why each word is tricky. Children will practise the tricky words in school until they can read them automatically.
They will also practise reading the tricky words in the decodable books that they bring home.

This is also how we write our letters at Cherry Fold.

Please help your children with the correct letter formation at home.

How our curriculum looks...

We use Development Matters to support our curriculum, this is alongside all statutory elements of the EYFS. We base our provision on common play behaviours and we ensure progression from Nursery to the end of Reception. To support this progression we have a vocabulary and skills progression document. All of these feed into our weekly planning, alongside our ongoing assessment of children's progress, next steps and interests. We use Little Wandle for our phonics curriculum. We use Red Rose Mastery Maths and NCETM for our mathematics curriculum. Please ask if you would like to see these planning documents.
